We are pleased to present the tenth edition of the European Islamophobia Report (EIR 2024), marking a decade of systematic and independent research on anti-Muslim racism across Europe. Since its first publication in 2015, the EIR has become one of the most authoritative reference works for understanding how Islamophobia operates as a structural and political phenomenon, shaping public discourse, policy frameworks, and institutional practices across the continent. Over the past ten years, the report has documented patterns that were once denied or dismissed—revealing Islamophobia not as an episodic problem, but as a persistent and evolving form of racism embedded in European societies.

This tenth anniversary is both a milestone and a warning. While the continuity of the report reflects sustained scholarly commitment, the findings of EIR 2024 paint a deeply alarming picture. Anti-Muslim racism has not diminished; rather, it has intensified and normalized across nearly all domains of public life. What is particularly striking in 2024 is the extent to which Islamophobic narratives now inform policymaking, legitimize exceptional security measures, shape media framing, and erode democratic norms. Muslims are increasingly governed through suspicion, securitization, and exclusion, with far-reaching consequences for fundamental rights.
